The Force 1x rear Der handled things well in this setup, but I would say this is around the limits. The way these 1x derailleurs maintain the right gap to the cassette is there's a big offset from the pivot to the upper jockey wheel. It's less about parallelogram tilt. So the path the upper jockey takes is a lot different between big ring and small ring, so in setup, there are compromises. I think a triple could work, provide the spread is not a lot bigger than the 14t jump I'm running now. I think some wide spread triple like a 48/36/24 would probably be really tough to set up.
